I'll go against trend and say the production version looks great and certainly a more practical daily proposition.
Had the concept not appeared in the form it did I'm sure the reaction to this would have been far more positive. Its comfortably the best looking 'standard' EV car.
Yes I agree fully with that. I bet it looks great in the flesh on the street and instantly recognisable.Had the concept not appeared in the form it did I'm sure the reaction to this would have been far more positive. Its comfortably the best looking 'standard' EV car.
I'm trying to find more photo's or video of the interior, especially the back, not seen much yet.

it looks closer than the taycan doessome body coloured wrap and some audi a1 quattro rims and your done
This
isn't anything like this to me
Apart from the grille looking similar it looks to me like they threw the rest of the concept away. The real thing even has an extra pair of doors which always spoil the looks of small cars.
Anyway, each to their own. I just thought it was a shame they could keep it close to the concept rather than making something that looks like a modified Skoda Fabia.
It actually looks like the concept, but it has 5 doors and no huge inch wheels with extended flared arches, so that is actually the sticking point.... not that it does not look like the original.
In general it does look like the original, but people want a 2 door manga Audi short base quattro verson from the design studio and so the eyes just pick up those details.
Considering the 5 door utilitarian version is being touted as too expensive the 2 door designer version would not have sold anything.
All these design critics on here have less chance of buying one than the new Defender, so it does not matter anyhow.

You are correct that I wouldn't buy one anyway given the price and woeful range but that doesn't discount me from having an opinion. It is just an opinion, this is a discussion forum after all.
